Roads: Repairs and Maintenance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of placing highways maintenance funding on a multi-year basis.

Answer

After reviewing funding options, to help local authorities plan effectively for managing their roads and improve asset management, the Government has moved to a three-year funding settlement for local highway maintenance amounting to approximately £915 million of capital funding per year. This funding covers the financial years 2022/23 to 2024/25 and is for local highway authorities across England outside of London and the Mayoral Combined Authorities which receive separate funding.

Mayoral Combined Authorities are receiving City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements amounting to £5.7 billion over five years, which includes funding for maintenance for their local highway networks.
